N’Golo Kanté is expected to be unavailable for three to four weeks, according to L’Équipe.

On Tuesday, he is set to undergo scans on the injury, but his unavailability is already estimated at around a month.

This could see him miss up to five matches.

Connor Gallagher is likely to be the player to replace him in midfield after he came off the bench on Sunday.
